We have trailer tires in the size of 5.30-12 that have a higher speed rating like the part # TT53012C but we do not have them mounted on a wheel. This tire is rated for 81 mph. So you could go with the tire and have them mounted on your current wheels or go with new wheels too and have them mounted locally like with # AM20153.

Yes we have tire pressure monitor systems for single axle trailers like with the part # TPMS-TRL-2 for a kit that comes with a display or the part # 372FX2K which would use your smartphone as a display.

It doesn't look like you have a whole lot of extra fender clearance on your motorcycle trailer so I'd recommend sticking with the tire size you have now and going with a higher speed rating like the part #TT53012C which is rated for up to 81…

From what I could find, the Harbor Freight trailers do say not to exceed 45 miles per hour in the owners manual. That being said, the tires they use are not rated very high and may be the limiting factor. The trailer you have looks to use a 5 on 4…

From what I could find out about the wheels on the Haul-Master trailers, they do utilize a 5.30-12 tire and wheel combo. The Kenda 5.30-12 with 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern #AM30740 will definitely fit. That being said, it does have a B weight rating,…

Since Harbor Freight's site no longer has that trailer, I don't know which bolt pattern you have so I'll give you both options. For your wheels and tires, I recommend the Taskmaster 5.30R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C Item…

In order to obtain a speed rating higher than 65 mph which is the standard you'll have to upgrade to a 13" wheel and tire combo. I recommend the Provider ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire part #TA43RR which is rated for 81 mph. It measures…

Answer 9

From what I'm seeing your Harbor Freight Haul-Master comes with 5.30-12 size tires like the Taskmaster 5.30R12 Radial Trailer Tire #TT53012C which is about as large as you can go in that size range. You can upgrade to a larger tire with that same…

Answer 10

It sounds like you have 5.30-12 tires on a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern wheel on the Harbor Freight Haul-master. They are more than likely bias trailer tires as well. I recommend to use the Taskmaster 5.30R12 Bias Trailer Tire w/ 12" Silver Mod Wheel…

Answer 11

The only trailer component that determines the speed rating of the trailer is the tires. All you have to do is simply replace your current tires with one that is rated for highway use, like the Kenda Loadstar #AM3S120 that you referenced, and you are…

Answer 12

Since we do not carry any radial tires that are size 5.30-12, the next closest option is a 145/80-12 sized tire. The new tire is about 1/2 inch smaller so it will work great for you. Radial tires are a good choice because they flex more than a bias…
